Caitlin & Dale…what a sweet, sweet wedding day! There were so many good things about their special day, and we want to point out a few!

-Caitlin and Raquel (the bride’s mom) were incredibly easy to work with from day one. They were organized, had a plan, and went with the flow even when things didn’t go exactly as they had originally thought.

-We love the mix of fall and pretty light blues for this wedding! It had such a fall feel, but they kept it light and airy. It was gorgeous.

-A family friend grew the white pumpkins they used in their decor.

-The bride and groom were so kind to us throughout the whole process, and at the end of the night, Caitlin couldn’t stop thanking us for being part of making her day so special. That meant the world!

-Let’s talk about Caitlin’s dress. So stunning and elegant, and it was complimentary to who she is as a person. We love that she wore cute sneakers as her wedding shoes! Adding in your personality to your wedding is a perfect way to make sure it’s a day you’ll never forget.

-They also gave away cute tiny succulents to their guests! They had a little sticker on them that said “Let Love Grow”.

Getting to be part of people’s special day is a dream come true for us. Every weekend, we are able to witness one of the most exciting parts of people’s lives and that will never get old.

8 days to Christmas-are y’all getting excited like my house is?!
.
We have some family Christmas 🎄 traditions that we look forward to each year.
.
We love attending the candlelight service at church on Christmas Eve. There’s something magical about singing hymns with just the glow of 🕯 surrounding you. As soon as we leave church, we eat Chinese-just like on #thechristmasstory
.
We also decided early on in our marriage not to give each other gifts on Christmas. Honestly, we tend to do so many house projects, we laugh and say our Christmas gifts are usually new flooring, new paint jobs or some other renovation project🤣
.
Speaking of gifts, when our kids were born we told Santa 🎅🏻 that he only needed to bring them 3 🎁 each. They think long and hard on what they want their three to be each year✨
.
This year, I’m excited to try a new gift exchange with my family. All the adults are bringing one “as seen on TV” gift, and we are playing a game to see who gets each gift!

I’m dreaming of blue skies and the 🌊 today.
.
A few weeks ago, I conquered my fear of being out on a boat in the ocean to go deep-sea fishing 🐠 I also touched a fish for probably the first time in my life😜
.
I grew up fishing with my parents on Lake Graham, but I never baited my own hook or touched a fish when I caught one.
.
Looking back on this little 6-hour trip we took, if I had said “no” because I was scared, I would have missed seeing sea creatures I’d never seen before. I would have missed watching my daughter bait her own hook! I would have missed one of the best days out on the ocean with my family as we reeled in some pretty amazing fish 🎣 .
.
Saying “yes” even when we are scared can allow us to experience moments we otherwise would miss.
.
Dale Carnegie said, “If you want to conquer fear, don’t sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” Pretty good advice, if you ask me✨ #livethelittlethings #lifeofadventure

These two will leave our venue tonight as Mr. and Mrs.💕

Happy wedding day to Emily and John✨ 📷: @kristajoyphotography
